The Gene of AI

S01E08: Confession

Love is a sickness that most people develop at some point. It brings joy and sorrow, freedom and anxiety, safety and fear. But how is such a sickness treated?

Overview

The future is here, and a new species lives among people: humanoids. These robotic beings are highly sentient like man and suffer from unique ailments. Thankfully, Dr. Hikaru Sudo can help. He vows to treat the humanoids even by means that may be considered illegal, causing him to lead a double life. But when strange diseases emerge due to this coexistence, ethical lines become blurred.
